U DistrictGuitar Venue in Seattle, WA

About Me: With over 25 years of experience behind the fretboard, I bring a wealth of real-world knowledge to every lesson. Whether I’m playing rhythm on an acoustic or delivering high-energy electric sets with my bands, I Scream Social and My Chemical Fauxmance, my life has been defined by the guitar. I don’t just teach you how to play songs; I teach you how to master the instrument and own the stage. What I Offer Tailored Instruction: Lessons designed around your musical tastes, from folk and fingerstyle to punk and hard rock. Performance Skills: Tips on stage presence and performance techniques based on years of live gigging. Foundational Mastery: A deep dive into scales, chords, and theory that actually makes sense.

As a professional musician and seasoned guitarist, I bring 16 years of experience to my teaching. My passion is to cultivate a deep appreciation and skill for the guitar by deepening my student's understanding of music in the simplest and easiest to understand terms and methods, focusing on getting the most out of your time with the instrument, as well as learning methods for improvisation as well as incorporating vocals to your playing. My studies include jazz, folk, classical, Brazilian, rock, blues, neo-soul/r&b, and hip-hop, for which I have a project where I play guitar and rap.

With a guitar in hand and a decade of teaching under my belt, I cultivate musical passion. My professional musician background shapes personalized lessons for all skill levels. Let's unlock your guitar-playing potential together!
